From shared code to scattered sparks: the slow poetry of neuron death. The body hums with memory until one wire breaks, and the whole system forgets who it is.

Death of a Neuron

Death of a Neuron

Death of a Neuron is a visual extension of my research on neurodegenerative diseases. It’s a series of 12 paintings in a comic book format that illustrates the gradual breakdown of neurons and mitochondria caused by multiple sclerosis. Each piece combines scientific information with creative storytelling, using color, form, and short textual excerpts to depict the invisible cellular damage occurring within the nervous system.
